dso exploit?

yep, and it just bounces straight back, plus which, the web browser is
running at about half a mile an hour. Oh, and there also seem to be a load
of unsolicited pictures in the my pictures folder, which have set themselves
up as the screensaver, although this might be something else altogether?

Thanks.
 >> Stay informed about: dso exploit? 

The nature of the trouble? When I run Spybot it comes up with DSO Exploit
as an object, or rather 5 objects. I can remove them, but then bang,
they're straight back if I run it again. My Pictures folder is also full of
pictures that my girlfriend didn't put there, and the pc has designated
these pictures as the screensaver via the settings option where you can set
this folder as your screensaver. Also, the web browser adopted a new
homepage as its default, and the whole system appears to be running at about
half a mile an hour.

I heard CW Shredder was the tool to use, but can't find any active links for
download.

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

There is a patch that I downloaded from Spybot's website that upgrades
Spybot 1.3 to 1.3TX. This fixes the 5 DSO exploit problems.

I always have DSO Exploit on my machine. S&D doesn't remove it.

I just started it up and hot the UPDATE button. It downloaded
detection files dates 11-18-04 but Help/About says it's 1.3, not 1.3TX.

Do I have to uninstall/download/reinstall or did I just happen to hit
a stale mirror site ?

I have XPSP2, plus whatever patches MS gave me a week ago. I only use
MSIE to hit update.microsoft.com, have a current AV product and am
behind a firewall. I never use Outlook/OE. Why does DSO Expliot keep
comming back ?

I've never seen DSO cause me any trouble.

After you upgrade to Spybot 1.3.1TX, and run a scan, it will once
again find the 5 DSO Exploit listings. Let Spybot "fix" the problems. The
next time you run a scan the DSO Exploits should not be listed.
 >> Stay informed about: dso exploit? 

A footnote: Spybot 1.3 must be installed before you download/install
the 1.3.1TX patch.

On a different note on this, it would appear that they may not have yet
gotten the problem completely resolved. I downloaded and installed the new
SpyBot patch a week ago, and on my very first run I got DSO Exploits (3),
and again on the second run today, 3 more. I am not the only one who has
had this situation, and actually, I installed it simply as a test to see if
it would happen on my machine too. I have W2K SP4, a new installation on a
new hard drive only 2 weeks old. So, I don't think this new patch works
fully up to par yet.

Are you letting Spybot "fix" the DSO Exploits?

I did the first time, but, just told it to ignore the second time. I just
ran another scan to check before I replied here, and here are the two that
it 'found'

If your computer has all the critical updates from Microsoft Windows
Update you should be okay.

Have you restarted your computer since installing the Spybot 1.3.1TX
patch? I installed the patch on two computers, one running XP and the other
ME and it fixed the DSO glitch on both of them.

Yes.....I'm fully updated, and I restarted the machine after the install,
then ran the first check. I ran the second check last Saturday, and the
most recent a while ago before my other reply here to test again. All three
times it listed DSO exploits.

Just wanted to let you know that it may have some flaws yet on some
machines.

check her headers, she's using IE and OE, no wonder the DSO
problem keeps coming back! OE is worthless and IE should only
be used for windows update

Hiya Bart...

> I wanna play too, or at least let my machine play.

Sure...... the leg pulling is all meant in fun....and anyone is welcome to
play too.

However, there've been a few others that have mentioned some DSO's showing
up on their machines using the new patch, and their Browsers and e-mail
programs vary; some are Agent, Netscape, Mozilla, etc., as well as OE/IE.
My friend just wanted to see if it would give an errant report on my new set
up as well. Could be a number of causes, but, it can still happen. Nothing
is 100%.

Also.....I was joshing with 'Anonymous', didn't mean to raise any dander.


BTW....I retired from Trolley and moved to Virginia last month. Tell my
good friend 'Tuck' I said Hi next time you talk to him...'k. <g>

Have a happy holiday.....
